B Correct answer
Explanation

'Play possum' means to pretend to be asleep, unconscious, or ignorant to avoid a situation, similar to how opossums pretend to be dead when threatened. Aditi uses this strategy to avoid attending school by feigning illness or sleep. It's not about running away, artificial tears, or playing animal games.
